Schneider, Elke; Costner, Kelly M.
SRATE Journal, v30 n2 2021
In the southeastern region of the United States, English Learners (ELs) present the fastest growing public school population. Therefore, in-service educators need to be specifically prepared to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate research-evidenced practices to support ELs within the content areas. The characteristics and impact of two graduate-level online courses for an endorsement in ESOL are shared. Based on described benefits and challenges, suggestions for future offerings are provided.
